Invitations

After you decide how many guests you will be inviting, you'll want to make out the invitations. A good rule of thumb is to get the invitations out six to eight weeks in advance. That way your guests will have plenty of time to plan accordingly. Make sure you include the date, time and location on every invitation along with an RSVP contact if necessary. Most computers have a program that will allow you to create your own invitations (you can also find free greeting card software here). However, if creating your own invitations is too daunting a task, you might want to think about purchasing invitations and hand writing the content or having the invitations professionally printed for a more refined look. 

Decorations

Every good event has some sort of theme, or at least some fun decor! Try to stick with a color scheme or general theme. Some easy ways to spice up any space would be by adding colorful balloons. Just keep in mind that with any balloon purchase, you'll want to wait until the day of the event to have helium balloons inflated, otherwise you might have issues with deflation.  Below are some more things to help you along with the planning process!
